Findings related to sensory modulation by DA.
| Structure | Species and anesthesia (if applicable) | Significance | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| V1 | Remifentanil anesthetized rhesus monkey | Systemic administration of L-DOPA increases supragranular oscillatory activity encoding visual information, but failure to induce changes in neuronal activity by local DA application | Zaldivar et al., 2018, 2014 |
| dLGN | Urethane anesthetized rat and ketamine or halothane anesthetized cat | D1 receptors inhibit and D2 receptors excite extracellularly recorded relay neurons | Phillis et al., 1967; Albrecht et al., 1996; Zhao et al., 2002 |
| dLGN | Rat and mouse (brain slices) | D1 receptors depolarize and D2 receptors inhibit intracellularly recorded neurons | Govindaiah and Cox, 2005; Munsch et al., 2005 |
| A1 | Awake gerbil | D1 receptors modulate auditory discrimination learning | Schicknick et al., 2012; Happel et al., 2014 |
| MGN | Mouse (brain slices) | D2 receptors modulate synaptic transmission at thalamocortical afferents in A1 | Chun et al., 2014 |
| Inferior colliculus | Awake mouse | Dopamine inhibits neuronal activity | Gittelman et al., 2013 |
| S1 | Awake rat | Dopamine inhibits neuronal activity | Bassant et al., 1990 |
| Ventrobasal thalamus | Rat (brain slices) | Dopamine increases excitability of intracellularly recorded neurons | Govindaiah et al., 2010a |
